        "text": "The process typically begins with a free consultation where a lawyer evaluates your case. If the case is accepted, the lawyer will gather medical records and evidence, often consulting with medical experts. They then file a formal complaint. The discovery phase follows, where both sides exchange information. Many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation before trial. If a settlement isn't reached, the case may proceed to trial. Throughout this process, your lawyer handles all legal procedures, communication, and litigation, aiming to secure the best possible outcome for you.",
